HOLDER FOR SHADES OR GLOBES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed November 2, 1911.

Patented June 25, 1912.

Serial No. 658,197.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LORIN W. YOUNG, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York city, in the county of New York and State of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Holders forShades or Globes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to holders for lamp shades or globes, andespecially to holders for heavy glass units employed in connection withelectric lamps.

The object of the invention is to provide a holder which can be easilyinstalled or removed or attached to the globe or shade and which iscapable of use on new or old equipment.

An advantage of the device is that it contains no springs or screwsrequiring manipulation, but when the parts are assembled they areautomatically looked upon the shade, to hold the latter.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which-Figure 1 is a top plan view. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section. Fig.3 is a section on the line 33 of Fig. 2.

The holder consists of three parts, two of which are halves united toform an inner member which will join over the top of a lamp socket, andthese halves are retained together by a locking collar or casing fittingaround the same.

The inner member comprises the two halves referredto, each of which hasarms 6 and 7 united at the top to a half ring 8 the arms being bentdownwardly to supporting connection with a semi-circular flange 9 onwhich the rim of the globe 1O rests. The arms 7 are half arms, so thatwhen the halves are placed together all the arms are symmetrical, andthe ring 8 will fit around the top of a supporting member or lampsocket, or otherwise arranged to hold the globe in place with respect tothe lamp. The halves of the inner member may be entered through the holein the shade and slipped into position as shown. The arm 6 has a dovetail tongue or rib 11, ar-

sleeve 15. The collar may he slid up or down to position.

In assembling the parts the halves of the inner member are insertedthrough the hole in the globe, and the collar is then slipped on fromabove, the tongue and groove engagement locking the members againstaccidental movement. To separate the holder it is simply necessary tolift the collar and disengage the halves of the inner member.

I claim:

1. A holder for a lamp shade or the like, comprising an inner membermade in separable sections and provided at its lower end with asupporting flange for the shade, and a collar fitting around saidsections and binding the same together.

2. A holder for a lamp shade or the like, comprising an inner membermade is separable sections and provided at its lower end with asupporting flange for the shade, and a collar fitting around saidsections and binding the same together, said collar and sections havinginterlocking parts respectively engaging each other.

3. A holder for a lamp shade or the like, comprising an inner membermade of a plurality of rigid segmental sections and having an outwardlyprojecting flange to support the shade, and a collar fitting around saidsections to hold the same together, said collar and sections having,respectively, interlocking projections and recesses adapt-ed to preventrelative movement of the sections and collar.

41. A holder for a lamp shade or the like, comprising an innershade-supporting member divided lengthwise into sections to permit thesame to be passed separately into the opening in the shade, and a collaradapted to be slipped over the end of said member when said sections areassembled, and having sliding engagement with the various sectionsthereof, to hold said sect-ions against relative movement.

5. A holder for a lamp shade or the like,

comprising an annular shade-supporting In testimony whereof, I aifix mysignamelnber, divided lengthwise into sectilons, ture in presence of twoWitnesses: each section havin a tongue exten ing lengthwise thereon, inda collar adapted to IN YOUNG 5 fit around said member, to hold thesections Witnesses:
